In four years at the helm of the Oregon Ducks football program, Chip Kelly has been to the Rose Bowl twice (victorious in one) and a BCS title game. He's currently 44-6 since taking over as head coach, and seemingly on his way to another appearance in a BCS game. Add those facts together and Kelly is naturally a hot NFL coaching commodity.

After nearly bolting for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season, Kelly is finding his name tossed around in the NFL coaching vacancy rumor mill, once again. Here's a look at what you're saying about Kelly's coaching prospects:

If Chip does decide to go to the NFL, he would have to have control over who is drafted. He would have to know the players' character, etc. He definitely would not run the Oregon offense in the pros, but would tailor his offense to what would work with the personnel that he inherits. Things could change though within a couple of years. ... I personally believe that the way he practices the players is the main key to his success, plus naturally, the accumulated talent level.

I would love to see Chip stay, but if he decides to fly from the pond, then we all would be following his team and hoping that he would make a few people eat crow with his inherited team. Football is football. There is nothing in the spread that isn't done on all levels of competition. We all know that the spread puts players out in space more than the pro set. ...

New England uses the spread offense quite a bit in their games. It does work, but has to be used more with the QB run option abandoned. QBs have to be protected in the pros, especially the [Tom] Brady's of this world. I'm not too sure Brady would be an ideal spread QB anyway. Yes! Chip would succeed, but his team ... would not look anything like the Ducks.

To me the question isn't can he succeed in a technical sense. He's more than smart and knowledgeable enough to do that. I think the question is whether or not he will like working with NFL players and whether they will perform for him. Can he work with players who resist his authority and aren't interested in his laser-like focus on "winning the day" by working their butts off? Will he want to? Will he be happy with the headaches that come with the NFL?

Outlaw093 wonders whether Kelly will second-guess his decision once he leaves:

I hope Chip realizes what a good thing he has at Oregon. He has turned it into a destination job. I also hope he realizes the difference between getting the effort and buy-in he gets out of the kids at the college level and trying to get that same effort out of millionaire men in the NFL. While I hope he stays, I acknowledge the inherent transient nature of the coaching profession. If he does indeed leave, I will wish him luck and miss him terribly.

EdYoung does not see a possible Kelly tenure in the NFL ending well for him:

I'm a contrarian here, but I predict he will fail in the NFL. Different skill set from college where you control the players' scholarships and draft prospects. Pete Carroll is just scraping by and Nick Saban wisely went back into college coaching where he could excel. Wrong horse for the course.

[Steve] Spurrier was a really good coach ... like Saban, but the fact remains: The college game is different from the pro game. Success at one level does not guarantee success at the other, largely because the skills that go into success are so different. Successful NFL coaches, more often than not, are groomed through the NFL as assistants and coordinators. The track record of coaches who came straight from college is not good.

Do you think Kelly will leave Eugene for the NFL next season? If so, how will he do, and which team would be the best fit? Join the discussion and post your comments in the section below.
